It’s all being done “for our own good”. We must believe in using less fossil fuels. We must believe in giving more Billions to the UN for more studies even though that “Science is Settled”. We must be accept higher costs for food and energy so we will consume less and produce less waste. What about those who literally die because they can’t afford it? What about the hypocrisy of saying “Trust Us? There are Respected Scientists watching and saying LOOK AT THE FACTS, do the warnings follow the facts?

It was actually the ninth coldest winter on record, and the coldest in 35 years.

NCDC bumped the winter up to 34th warmest, through an amazing 4 degrees of tampering relative to 1949.

These adjustments are about 5 times larger than what they show in USHCN documents.

[Anthony Watts pointed out that the HPRCC map above uses a different set of stations and different baseline period than the NCDC graph. This is a valid point and affects the 74% of US below normal I mentioned, but seems unlikely to account for more than a about half a degree difference in the regional anomalies.]
